Process-Mining-Driven Test Scoping: Using Real Process Variants to Prioritize SAP Regression

Keep this: job aid

Usage-based test scoping checklist

• Fix the mining basis: system and client, period, case definition, activities, filters, product and edition.
• Read the top variants by case share and value share; note exception and rework paths.
• Map activities to test steps and apps; group variants by what the system does differently.
• Turn attribute slices (order type, sales area, plant, customer group) into data rows.
• Store variant IDs on each test case in SAP Cloud ALM.
• Score scenarios: impact from mining, likelihood from the change list, plus a policy floor.
• Report pass rate with case coverage, value coverage, uncovered variants above threshold and dead tests.
• Count only passed scenarios as coverage; owners review gaps before the decision group.
• Refresh before each regression window; retire tests only after two empty periods.
• Pseudonymize users and minimize attributes in event data.
